the longest street name in Germany is "Bischöflich-Geistlicher-Rat-Josef-Zinnbauer-Straße", which I don't think is that different from something like "St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path" in the UK.

(I'm purposefully ignoring Wales, because they're just fucking with us at this point)

Well thank goodness they have that ß character to help keep their street names so efficient.

Do you have a problem with the language that's half l and y?

The can keep their l's and y's, my issue is that I don't trust their language after their longest town name was arbitrarily made so to reap in unsuspecting tourists

Are the Welsh fucking anything other than their flock?
